Jennifer Carroll and Jose Garces aren’t the only Philly chefs repping on the small screen right now. This coming Tuesday, Oct. 20, at 10 p.m., check out Prive chef Peter Karapanagiotis and georges’ exec Jeremy Duclut duke it out on Chopped, the Food Network’s fast-paced cook-off show. (It’s basically an hour-long Quickfire Challenge, for any unfamiliar Top Chef heads out there.) Check out the description of the episode from the show site after the jump. Here’s hoping neither of our boys are responsible for this “oh-my-gosh mistake.”
UPDATE: Sorry that we failed to mention initially that there will be a third Philly rep on this episode — Lower Merion-based caterer Barbara Esmonde. (h/t Inqlings)
A slippery shocker in the appetizer basket starts things off on a terrifying note. Then in the Entrée Round, the judges are stunned by the oh-my-gosh mistake one chef makes with an umeboshi-arugula salad. Good gracious, parsnips and soda crackers for dessert? The finalists have to act quickly to make it work.
